Replacement IMS and fitting new bearing

This car had the single-row, small bearing, which is the weakest of them all. Although it's still perfect and shows no wear, I didn't want to just leave it as is.

Luckily I have a few more IMSs lying around that I can pick from.



The right most is the original. On its left is the newer IMS with the non-servicable bearing (not in place). To one more on the left is a similar one, with a flange. I found this on ebay a few months ago for a good price. This is the one I'll go with.



Deflanged.




Extracting the old bearing.





Side by side is a small bearing and the larger kind (6305).



This is new replacement bearing chilling in the freezer to accompany some ice creams. The next morning I heated up the IMS in the oven. If you do this installing the bearing does not require any force, it just slides right in.


Spins nicely with negligible runout.



I added a Hartech-flange to the assembly instead of the original for increased lubrication by the splashed oil.
